In this paper, we introduce a foundational model for specification of QoS attributes at application level. The model handles QoS attributes as semantic constraints within a graphical calculus for mobility. In our approach QoS attributes are related to the programming abstractions and are exploited to select, configure and dynamically modify the underlying system oriented QoS mechanisms.
